Radhe Enterprise is a competitive bentonite supplier for Turkish, Azerbaijani, and Georgian buyers, exporting premium bentonite granules, bentonite powder, dolomite, edible roasted clay, and bentonite cat litter from our manufacturing facility in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India. We serve drilling contractors, agricultural importers, and industrial buyers with competitive FOB/CIF pricing via Istanbul and Mersin ports.
Turkey has its own bentonite deposits in regions like Ankara, Kutahya, and Tokat, but imports specific calcium bentonite grades for drilling operations (oil and gas exploration in the Black Sea and Mediterranean), agriculture (hazelnut and tea cultivation in the eastern Black Sea region), and industrial applications where Indian calcium bentonite offers quality advantages or pricing benefits over domestic production. Turkish importers often consolidate mineral shipments with other Indian industrial products for freight efficiency.
Whether you need bentonite granules for drilling mud systems, bentonite powder for foundry and construction, dolomite for glass and ceramics manufacturing, edible roasted clay for health and wellness channels, or bentonite cat litter for retail distribution — Radhe Enterprise delivers export-grade quality at factory-direct prices from India.
Why Source Bentonite from India for Turkey?
India is the world's second-largest bentonite producer, and Gujarat accounts for over 60% of India's bentonite output. Sourcing from a direct Indian manufacturer like Radhe Enterprise gives Turkish buyers access to premium bentonite, dolomite, and clay products at significantly lower costs than domestic alternatives or re-exports from trading hubs. Our Bhavnagar factory location provides cost-effective port access for ocean freight optimization.
Indian bentonite — particularly from the Bhavnagar-Kutch belt — is prized for its high montmorillonite content, excellent swelling properties, and versatility across agriculture, industrial, and pet care applications. For Turkish importers, buying directly from Radhe Enterprise eliminates intermediary margins and ensures specification control from mine to container.

Complete Product Range We Export to Turkey
Bentonite Granules (Red Ball, Black Ball, Brown Granules): Agriculture and fertilizer-grade granules for soil conditioning, NPK binding, foundry sand bonding, and industrial use. Mesh sizes 8–30, moisture-controlled packing. See our Bentonite Granules Manufacturer India pillar for complete specifications.
Bentonite Powder (Calcium grades): 200–300 mesh powder for drilling mud, foundry green sand, ceramics, paints, and agriculture. Industrial and export quality with batch traceability. See our Bentonite Powder Manufacturer India pillar for grade details.
Dolomite Granules & Powder: CaMg carbonate for soil pH correction, calcium-magnesium supplementation, glass manufacturing, ceramics, and construction. Full white and standard grades.
Edible Roasted Clay (Nakumatt & Butter Grey): Traditional Indian khadi mitti — food-safe kiln-roasted bentonite clay for eating, medical toxin binding (natural enterosorbent), fish pond sealing, aquaculture feed supplementation, and industrial absorbent applications. NOT for cat litter. See our Roasted Clay Manufacturer India pillar for complete product information.
Bentonite Cat Litter: Clumping scented cat litter in Lavender, Lemon, Apple & Triple Freshness. Private label and retail packing available. Made from premium bentonite — a completely separate product from edible roasted clay. See our Cat Litter Manufacturer India pillar for private label and export programs.
Drilling & Energy Sector Applications
Turkey's oil and gas exploration activities in the Black Sea (Sakarya field) and Mediterranean offshore blocks, combined with geothermal drilling for renewable energy, create steady demand for drilling-grade bentonite. Turkish drilling contractors import Indian calcium bentonite for water-well drilling, geothermal well construction, and mineral exploration where specifications are less demanding than API-grade sodium bentonite. At approximately $80–120/MT FOB, Indian bentonite offers Turkish buyers significant savings versus domestic Turkish bentonite at $120–180/MT.
Azerbaijan's oil and gas sector — centered on the Caspian Sea fields — also consumes drilling bentonite for well construction and workover operations. Georgia's growing infrastructure and mining sectors create additional demand for construction-grade bentonite for piling, waterproofing, and civil engineering applications.
Agricultural Applications in Eastern Turkey & Caucasus
Turkey's eastern Black Sea region — the heart of hazelnut and tea production — faces soil acidity and erosion challenges that bentonite granules can address through pH buffering and water retention. Indian calcium bentonite applied at 500–1,000 kg per hectare improves soil structure in the region's steep, high-rainfall terrain. For Turkish hazelnut growers, improved water retention translates to more consistent yields during dry spells between rain events.
Georgian agriculture — including wine grape cultivation in Kakheti and citrus production along the Black Sea coast — also benefits from bentonite soil conditioning. Azerbaijani cotton and grain farmers in the Kura-Aras lowlands use bentonite to improve water retention in the region's semi-arid conditions.
Export Logistics & Documentation for Turkey

What Turkish ports do you ship to?
We ship primarily to Istanbul (Ambarli, Haydarpasa) and Mersin ports. Ocean transit from Mundra to Istanbul is approximately 14–18 days, to Mersin 16–20 days. For Georgian buyers, we ship to Batumi or Poti ports. For Azerbaijani buyers, containers are discharged at Batumi or Poti and trucked to Baku (approximately 550 km, 8–10 hours).
How does Indian bentonite compare to Turkish domestic bentonite?
Turkish bentonite from Ankara and Kutahya regions is predominantly calcium bentonite with moderate swelling (8–15 ml/2g). Indian calcium bentonite from Gujarat offers similar or better swelling properties (10–25 ml/2g depending on grade) at a lower FOB price. However, Turkish buyers must account for 4–8% import duty and 18% VAT on imported minerals. We recommend calculating total landed cost including duty and freight to determine the net savings versus domestic supply.
Can I consolidate Indian bentonite with other imports from India?
Yes. Turkish importers frequently consolidate bentonite containers with other Indian industrial products (ceramic raw materials, chemical products, construction materials) to optimize freight costs. We can coordinate with your existing Indian suppliers for shared container loading at Mundra port.
What documentation do you provide for Turkish customs?
We provide commercial invoice with Turkish HS code, packing list with batch numbers, bill of lading, certificate of origin (for Customs Union preference claims), certificate of analysis, and fumigation certificate for wooden pallets. For buyers requiring TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) compliance documentation, we can coordinate testing through accredited laboratories.
